It has been too long since I last wrote about our journey.
Michael is not the same kid as he was when I last posted. He went from just saying some words to not being all that limited on what he can say {take that DR’s!!}. Our little boy has fewer behavior issues due to his increased communication, and an imagination beyond this realm.
{He is definitely catching up to his age in a lot of respects}
Recently I was let go from my job of 10 years with T-Mobile.
This was a good thing as the job was far too stressful for me to handle work and my life outside of work.
My new journey begins this fall!
I have spent a lot of time wondering why we were given a child with special needs other than the typical response of “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle”.
I feel very strong in knowing why now. We were given Michael so that we wouldn’t be so self centered. So that we could see the world for what it is {not always a good thing} and to help others.
I will be going to Western Oregon State University to get my teaching degree and get my masters in special education. I feel attached to these kids and want nothing in this life more than to be able to empower them to become strong, independent people.
My husband is so very supportive even though it will probably mean some pretty lean times he stands behind me 100%.
In addition to everything we are adding a new member of our household her name is Miki( pronounced Meekee) she is a beagle and we will be training her to be a therapy dog for Michael and of course she will be spoiled rotten and loved very much. I can’t wait to see the relationship Mike and Miki will have
I could not ask for more in this life. Life is good!!
